        1. d5-e5, e8-d7 (if pawn takes, queen to e6 mate) 2. a2-e6, d7-e6 3. d6-b8, d8-d6 – then queen takes rook, mate.

        1.Re5+! checking the king and clearing the line a2-g8 for the action of the White Queen. Taking the rook either way fails on 2.Qe6 Qe7 3.Qxe7 mate!

        1….Kd7 2.Qe6+ Kc6 3.Qd5+ now the bishop is protected so the king has to run away: he is going to be in jeopardy…

        3…Kb6 4.Qa5+ Kc6 5.Qc5+ Kd7 6.Re7 mate !
